The graphics and animations are really good, but the game it's basically Breakout, except with an elaborate start-up sequence. You have to grab the gun, fire the bullet (=ball) and then grab the stick (=paddle).
Also once the crabs reach the floor, there is no way to fight them, if the bullet hits them it's game over.
That's a clever take on the "one-bullet" mechanic! Took me just a bit before it clicked; when it did, it was fun. Also, nice job on music and graphics.

One-Stick Shooter!The concept is original and the new approach to the Break Out mechanic is interesting. I really enjoyed jumping to change the direction of the bullet. It gives space to try things.
Adherence to the theme was perfect. You only have one bullet and the challenge is to use it to kill as many enemies as possible.
Except for its similarities to Break out, the idea is quite original. The aesthetics make it pretty funny.
There's an annoying bug that allows the PC to get out of the screen while rolling. Except for that, awesome work.
